The Most Stupid Gun Law Ever Made

Reuters:

    New York state lawmakers are considering amendments to the state’s sweeping new gun control law, including repealing a ban on magazines that hold more than seven bullets, Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Wednesday, describing most of the changes as technical.

    The law, passed January 15, a month after the massacre at a Connecticut elementary school, also requires gun owners to register most guns with the state and requires universal background checks.


    Cuomo and legislators have been discussing “technical corrections” to the law, the governor told a news conference.

    A provision banning magazines that hold more than seven bullets beginning April 15 would likely be repealed, as magazines generally hold 10 bullets.

    “There is no such thing as a seven-bullet magazine,” Cuomo said.

    Under the proposal, gun owners would be barred from loading more than seven bullets at a time, he said, unless they are at a shooting range or participating in a competition.

First of all, regarding this issue of seven cartridges in the magazine, Kimber makes plenty such magazines for their 1911′s.  Second, please stop saying that bullets go in magazines, you ignorant moron.  Complete cartridges go in magazines.

But to the substance of the report, take careful note again what the Governor said.  At shooting competitions (we can guess they mean IDPA or 3-gun competitions or some similar event), shooters could load more than seven cartridges in their magazines.  Likewise for ranges.  But if they’re home preparing to defend their families at night, it would presumably mean that gun owners would be committing a felony by loading more than seven cartridges.

This assumes that anyone would be willing to defend themselves from a home invasion and then rather than unloading the balance of the magazine, they admitted to law enforcement that they had more than seven loaded.  Of course, it might take more than seven to defend against the home invasion, which is the point of this ridiculous dance anyway.

Note again.  Voluntarily acquiescing to load no more than seven cartridges in your magazines when you need them, and loading them up to capacity when you don’t.

This has to be the most stupid law ever proposed by the most stupid people on earth.  But of course regarding the people, we knew that already, didn’t we?

So to bottom line it, empty your mag and go though half of another so the cops won't know many you loaded? Yeah, there's gun control logic at its finest.

The people that came up with these laws are not stupid, I won't let them off that easy. They are evil, elitist tyrants and should be removed from the public payroll imediately.

Keep a couple of empty mags near by and don't tell the cops anything except, "I feared for my life."

In NY the only thing I'd tell the cops is "Id like to speak to my attorney". Frak them and the whole government up there, I just wish they'd flee to Canada rather then bringing their laws to the South with them..

It's the Honor System.

They trust you not to break the law and overload your magazines.

It works the same way GUN FREE ZONES work.

Yes Your Honor, I only shot him seven times, because eight times would be a very bad thing.

Look at it this way. For all you 1911 guys? The NY leg has settled the debate over Glock vs 1911 in your favor.

When 10-round mags were the max allowed some gun companies made smaller guns like the Para Warthog. Maybe they'll make smaller guns again.

As busy as the gun companies are, I don't see most them retooling at this time for a smaller old design or putting effort into a new smaller design at this time just for one state.  They may make blocked magazines for them though.  What's the capacity of the Kahrs?
